QUILTING-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,688, dated February 6, 1883.

Application filed July 18, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY T. DAVIS, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in' Quilting-Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailsection. I

My invention relates to the adjustable character of the frame; and it consists in making the legs of two pieces each, one of which telescopes the other, and connecting the end pieces, which are made in two parts each, so 'thatthey'are respectively adjustable, as hereinaiter described, and pointed out in the claim.

A A represent the legs of one end of the frame, and B the leg of the other end. These are provided with casters 0, so that the frame can be easily moved back and forth.

D D are short rods, secured to the end piece E of the frame bytheir upper ends, theirlower ends telescoping the upper ends of the legs A, which are made hollow to receive them. They are held to their adjustment in the legs by set-screws F. The end piece E is made in two parts connected by a short rod, G, which telescopes the piece E, and is held to any adjustment by set-screws H. The other end piece, I, of the frame is made in two parts connected by a short rod, J, which enters their hollow ends, and is held to its adjustment by set-screws K. L is another short rod, connected to the rod J, forming a T, whose lower end enters the hollow upper end of the leg B, and it is held to its adjnstmentby a set screw, M. It will thus be seen that the quilt can be raised or lowered, as desired.

Gas-pipe may he used for the above-described parts, if desired.

The frame has side pieces, N, as usual, and

they have ratchet-wheels, which are engaged by pawls on the end pieces, so that the quilt can be wound from one onto the other, as is common.-

I claim as my invention- In a quilting-frame, the combination of legs A, telescoping rods D, set-screws F, end piece E, made in two parts connected by a rod, G, with set-screws 11, side piece, N, end piece, I. made in two parts connected by a rod, J, with set-screws K, rod L, and leg B, the said rod L telescoping theleg B and held to its adjustment by a set-screw, M, all arranged substantially as shown and described.

HENRY T. DAVIS.
